Shackell: Design for Play Review

The primary objective of this blog was to make the reader look at how
play is important to growing minds found in children, as well as more developed
minds. It also talks about several locations that implement policies to encourage
playing amongst the populace. The second chapter actually talks about how to
design a very good play space for the children. In doing so, the author went on to
state what they believe to be ten important rules that should be followed when designing
a better play space. Several of these include, placing the space close to nature, design so
that the space can evolve with time and maintain itself. Overall, I believe that these points
stated by the author can greatly benefit us when designing the play space for this class.
